How should I choose a new hair cut?

I want to change it up for spring, but the possibilities are so endless I don't even know what to do.



I've always liked my hair longer, (it's prettier in my opinion, and it's almost like a security to me) but I am sick of being the same all the time. I want to have more volume and body in my hair, because it gets kinda flat if you let it grow too long.



My hair is straight, very fine, but there's a ton of it. I literally break ponytails on a regular basis because I have so much hair. I'm not much into bangs, but I'd be willing to try them. One other thing is, I don't want to look too much like my mother. We are already quite similar, and her hair is cut into a short bob, so I can't do that.How should I choose a new hair cut?
